Automatic Tray Seeding Machine The Startup project is an Automatic Tray Seeding Machine that is locally made and will highly increase the efficiency and productivity of farmers. It is a production line that consists of five stages that takes in an empty seeding tray, fills it with soil after mixing it, compresses each division of the tray, places a seed in each division, covers the tray with fertilizer, waters it, and handles ten trays to the farmer ready for the required habitat.

This machine produces 125,000 seedlings, it targets the Palestinians farmers; since similar machines all need to be imported and have a very high purchasing and installation cost; approximately around $100,000. In addition to the almost non-existent maintenance and upgrading.

The machine substitutes expensive imported one as being more affordable, locally made, the ability of maintenance to be available, and finally yet importantly is the ability of updating it upon the dynamic needs and requirements of the Palestinian market.
